Sometimes the end of the shell will "point" up, but the bottom stays down. If they float, the eggs have gone bad - DON'T EAT THEM!
Also, when the yolks get that discoloration, it's because the eggs are overcooked. (or so I've heard)

Sounds like you have the same "Big Red Betty Crocker Cookbook" as I do!

It's an oldie but goodie - just a good basic cookbook that weighs a good 5 lbs.! But it's got all those simple things in it, like boiling eggs, to complicated stuff I'll never even attempt! You can tell my favorites by the butter & oil stains!
